today i am thankful for...tolerant friends

When this flashed on screen after Glee, I screamed, "CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!" in the most embarrassingly loud scream I have ever experienced in my life.

And my friends here still like me.  Enough said.

today i am thankful for...staying in touch with friends

I. Love. My. Friends. So. Much.

I am increasingly more grateful for them the longer we are apart, which is saying a lot, because I've always been very thankful for them.  I've made some great friends here, but there's nothing like a great phone call with a bestie from back home.  Thank goodness for cell phones, blogs, and Facebook!

today i am thankful for...music

Fantastic Mr. Fox is not only one of my favorite movies, but it is also one of my favorite soundtracks.  It reminds me of Thanksgiving, so naturally I have started listening to it repeatedly since November arrived.

It is no secret that I am a sucker for anything associated with holidays.  In fact, I go out of my way to associate things with holidays and seasons.  Music in particular is the easiest to do this, which is one of the reasons why I love it so much.  When it's Fall, I have my standards:  Louis Armstrong (and any jazz), Frank Sinatra (although this is more of a gateway to Christmas music as it becomes closer to Christmastime), Sufjan's Age of Adz (I saw him last October when this album came out, so of course I associate it with Fall now), Simon & Garfunkel (especially my vinyl records at home, which I miss dearly), Vampire Weekend....to name a few.  I also create playlists to listen to.  In fact, I will share with you "Fall 2011 Part 1" here:

Do you have any seasonal favorites?

today i am thankful for... Audrey Hepburn

Last night I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's for the 34923495823th time and realized I have the entire movie memorized.  I am very thankful to have grown up with my love of Audrey Hepburn, because she is one classy lady!

So my daily "today i am thankful for..." posts have been completely lacking this November (see last year's here)...  Actually, pretty nonexistent.  I will make an effort to start up again, but the truth is, life is busy.  But more importantly, life is good.

Mostly today I am thankful for... being so happily busy that I don't even have time to keep up with my blog.

today i am thankful for...photobooth

So. It's November.  Time to be thankful for the little things in life! Tonight it's taking a break from French homework to take silly photobooth pictures.  Yeah, I'm in college.  I'm mature.

Now, back to that homework...
